It's even easier to install with NFS and let the installer
take care of the loop-back mounting for you. Just download
the isos to an NFS-exported directory, burn only the first one
or the boot image file, boot with 'linux askmethod' at the
boot prompt, pick NFS as the method and fill in the location.
